Migrating Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence reports to Cognos Business Intelligence using the ALM Cognos Connector

Rational® Reporting for Development Intelligence is no longer included as an optional component with CLM. If you still want to use Cognos® reports with CLM, you can install ALM Cognos Connector to connect CLM with the Cognos Business Intelligence server. The ALM Cognos Connector integrates a stand-alone Cognos Business Intelligence server with a CLM server.

Before you begin

  1. The data warehouse must use IBM® DB2®, Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle for its database.
  2. Install and configure Cognos Business Intelligence 10.2.1 Fix Pack 2. Ensure that you install Fix Pack 2 as earlier versions are not supported for use with the ALM Cognos Connector.
  3. Deploy the Cognos application to WebSphere® Application Server. Ensure that you follow the instructions that apply to WebSphere Application Server.
    Checkpoint: Task help topic. Ensure that the Cognos report server is running successfully by opening the following URL in a browser:http://[Cognos_BI_server]:[port number]/p2pd/servlet/dispatch, where [Cognos_BI_server] is the WebSphere Application Server profile where the IBM Cognos Business Intelligence application is deployed.
    Tip: The JAVA_HOME environment variable must point to the version of Java™ installed with the WebSphere Application Server where the Cognos application is deployed.
  4. Install ALM Cognos Connector.
